This Spanish Gothic building was designed by Frederick Meyer and Albin Johnson.

According to the San Francisco Property Information website, it is "one of the largest and most richly decorated of San Francisco's many fine downtown club buildings, designed by one of the best and most important firms of the period. The exterior is a three part vertical composition with a high stacked base that reflects major interior spaces. It has three large central bays and flanking minor bays. The club rooms are expressed on the exterior by broad two story segmental arches in the central bays, each containing three lancet arches. The final level of club rooms is articulated by a transitional story with a central balcony supported by paired brackets. The residential rooms occupy the shaft and crown. Major interior spaces include the auditorium, buffet and card room, billliard room, game room, dining room and lounging room. Above these communal spaces are hotel rooms."

When we photographed the building, it housed the Kensington Park Hotel and San Francisco Playhouse.
